With the movement and promise of ‘Torrent Morghulis, minutes after America and hours before torrents’, Hotstar is bringing ‘Game of Thrones’ to India. Good news, right? Well, only for those who could watch it seamlessly. But, there’s a section of the audiences who were mighty pissed when servers choked right when they planned to watch it.
Umm, that happened. On the day of the season seven premiere. At 7.30 a.m. And, people were not at all happy. Naturally, they took to Twitter to share their woes and here we are sharing it all with you.
1. Probably.
Probably this is the reason some people don't pay and watch, instead they go for pirated ones, @745 am on #Hotstar #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/2jfUgauZrA

This is what trying to watch your shows legally in India gets you. #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/qx3oi6Jcwc

But, still! People are major pissed and HS dissing torrents didn’t go down too well. Hope the next Monday will be a better one for the servers and GOTians get to watch it smoothly. Warna people know what to do! (P.S. Not promoting piracy in any way here, people).
